Terrorists are counting on children to behave like sheep. The schools are encouraging children to do exactly this. (Duck and cover?! You've *got* to be kidding me.) Parents need to put pressure on schools to bring in the Fight Back program and to arm the teachers. Schools need to be forced to see that these guys mean business, then both schools and local law enforcement need to be reminded about the bank robbery that left the LAPD out-gunned. If the schools think that one or two armed security guards are going to be able to hold back a serious assault, they're delusional.
Crap. What am I talking about? The NEA will *never* allow their teachers to carry. Any parents who speak out for stricter measures will me marginalized as right-wing kooks. Nobody'll spend a dollar to bulk up security until *after* the crap hits the fan. Heck, if we only get hit once, schools will throw a token gesture at the problem, then quietly go back to business.
Unless we're hit over and over again in a very random pattern, the issue will never be addresses like it needs to be. Even one devastating event won't be enough to move us. People will just assume that it was a fluke. As a society, we've just been safe for too long to change our day-to-day activities without a cattle-prod.
